Be nice!

Hebrews 13:1-3

Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters.* 2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! 3 Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies.

Stephanie and I will be heading on vacation next week. We will certainly run across a few strangers in our travels. I love talking with strangers. When you camp it seems like everyone is more open. It's like there are no strangers. We are camping this weekend and I had a great conversation with a family as I was walking down the road. People are more friendly in a campground. I think that's the way God would like it to be everywhere.

People just aren't nice to each other anymore. Hospitality is a lost art. We need to get back to treating each other with love and respect. We need to go out of our way to be nice to our family, friends, and strangers. We need to love them, serve them and share Christ with them.
